Morning Skate: End

Well folks, as the Ottawa Board of Tourism’s slogan goes, “Ottawa: Where All Good Things Come to an End.” I think I’m making that up, but maybe not. The Bruins’ trouble in Kanata continued last night, with their winning streak ending via a 5-3 loss to the Senators. True to form for nearly all of […]

Oilers ‘not happy’ with how Panthers ‘really rubbed that second one in’ during 2025 Stanley Cup celebration

There’s no doubt that many members of the Edmonton Oilers have Saturday night’s game marked on their calendars. The finale of this gauntlet seven-game road trip through the Eastern Conference will be in Southern Florida against the back-to-back defending Stanley Cup champions. It’s been tough sledding for the back-to-back Stanley Cup runner-ups so far. Edmonton’s…

Oilers recall tough guy Connor Clattenburg ahead of Stanley Cup rematch against Panthers

Connor Clattenburg, come on down. The Edmonton Oilers announced Friday night they recalled the rugged winger from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors ahead of Saturday night’s showdown with the Florida Panthers. The Oilers also announced they placed forward Noah Philp on the Long-Term Injured Reserve. Saturday will mark Clattenburg’s NHL debut as the Oilers and Panthers…

Islanders Kyle Palmieri Tears ACL, Out 6-to-8 Months

New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri has reached legend status. The veteran forward went into the boards awkwardly on Friday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, ended up tearing his ACL on the play, meanwhile was able to get to his feet, make a nice pass, which lead to an Islanders goal. It's a brutal blow for the Islanders, who are surprising a ton of people this year being in the mix for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Per the team release: Kyle Palmieri will get surgery to ...

The Dylan Cease Signing, Comparisons, and a Kudos for Aggressiveness

Owing to the timing and the holiday, I didn’t really have a chance to sit with my thoughts on the Blue Jays signing Dylan Cease, and comment a little more completely on how it struck me. On the whole, I agree with a lot of what Michael said , about the Cubs “missing” on Cease not really bothering me … so long as the Cubs ACTUALLY step up and add one of the many, many other interesting front-half starting pitchers available in free agency or trade this offseason. I think it’s importan...

Around the NFL: Tre’von Moehrig Suspended, Joe Burrow Back, More

The NFL has suspended Carolina Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig one game for his actions during Monday night’s 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a ruling that arrives at the worst possible time for an already depleted Carolina secondary. Panthers Safety Tre’von Moehrig Suspended One Game After Late-Game Incident vs. 49ers The suspension stems from a late-game altercation in which cameras appeared to show Moehrig throwing a punch below the belt of 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings duri...

New Podcast Alert, Some Thoughts on Caleb Williams, MNF Musings, and Other Bears Bullets

The Tuesday of Thanksgiving Week always feels like a Thursday. What’s up with that? Even though the NFL Draft isn’t top of mind right now, I am still curious about (1) where the Bears are picking and (2) who they could target. Hence, I am starting to put my eyes on more mock drafts. Chicago’s football team targeting an edge defender makes sense . But it is going to take some time for my mind to get a grasp on the concept of the Bears drafting in the 20s. I didn’t watch Monday N...

Five positive takeaways from the Oilers’ gruelling road trip

The Edmonton Oilers are finally out of their gauntlet of a road trip, going 3-3-1 in seven games, which, all things considered, isn’t bad given just how tough the trip was. But alas, it’s over. The Oilers battled their way through that two-week Eastern trip and now get to play six of their next seven…

Iron Bowl 2025 Preview: Q&A with Ryan Sterritt

With only one day left until our favorite end-of-year slugfest, the Iron Bowl, friend of the blog Ryan Sterritt returns for yet another year to give his mostly unfiltered opinions on all things Auburn Football. 1. You were one of the first and most vocal detractors of the Hugh Freeze hire, and I remember your […]

Match Preview: The Western Conference Final in San Diego

Saturday night, the top two seeds in the Western Conference will fight it out for a spot in the MLS Cup Final on December 6th. For Vancouver, this has been over 10 years in the making. Meanwhile, down in San Diego, no one expected them to be here in their inaugural season. Don’t let those histories mislead you, however. Both of these teams absolutely deserve … Source
